â–²Akershus Fortress Complex
This park-like complex of sights scattered over Oslo's fortified old center is
still a military base. But as you dodge patrol guards and vans filled with sol-
diers, you'll see the castle, a prison, war memorials, the Norwegian Resist-
ance Museum, the Armed Forces Museum, and cannon-strewn ramparts af-
fording fine harbor views and picnic perches. There's an unimpressive chan-
ging of the guard daily at 13:30 (at the parade ground, deep in the castle com-
plex). The park is generally open daily 6:00-21:00, but because the military is
